As a child I saw 'It's a Wonderful Life' on TV & it enthralled me - it made a HUGE impact - although it was years before I got to see it again. I remembered the story & the moral of the tale with such clarity & when I did get to watch it again, it was just as wonderful as I remembered!
With the dawn of videos it was treasured among our collection & I just about wore the tape out! So when DVD's appeared it just had to be updated!
Although considered a Christmas movie, I can watch it anytime & not fail to be moved to tears & uplifted - a true feel good film!
So back to the challenge, here is what I put together
I tried to keep everything in a sepia tone but the photograph of the whole thing doesn't show the warmth as well as the close up does! After several attempts to get a better shot I had to concede!!
The journalling reads "I first saw this film when I was nine years old. Back then we only had three TV channels & you got to watch what the programmers gave you, so it was many years before I got to see it again. But it's strong message to 'Count Your Blessings' is with me always & I will never tire of watching this wonderful feel good movie, over & over again!"

WOW! you did a fantastic job with this layout - I love the sepia vintage look to this (and I know that it's so hard some times to capture the actual colors of a layout in a photo) - the graphic layout, the photos, the flowers, the bling flourishes, everything works together so perfectly! thanks so much for playing along with us at TAAFOMFT (and thanks for your lovely comment about our challenges)
